Slide the heater hoses out of the slot where the hoses and pipes are stuffed
together. This will give enough room to twist and turn to get the pipes out.
This job can be done with the engine, tranny, and fuel tank in place.

Subject: steel coolant pipes 82 diesel westy

Hi all - I'm trying to remove a set of good steel pipes from an 82 diesel.
It seems a lot like one of those bent nail type puzzles, only more so.  Any
tips on this?  Also, this is being done with the engine and tranny out.  Is
it even possible to remove and replace these with the engine and tranny
in-place?
